It’s a great time to be a CX leader and we here at Walker have had a fun time producing this podcast. But after over 330 episodes speaking with fantastic people from across the globe, covering topics to help you get the most from customer experience, it’s time to put away the microphones. This is the last episode of The CX Leader Podcast, at least for now. And the reason is not complicated: as many companies do, we here at Walker have shifted our marketing strategy and need to devote resources to other activities. But all the great content we’ve produced since 2018 will still be available on our website and you will always be able to rely on Walker as an authoritative source for all things XM. Host Chris Higgins welcomes former hosts Troy Powell, Sara Walker, Pat Gibbons, and Steve Walker for a look back on their favorite guests, topics, and what CX leaders should look forward to in 2025.
